CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 35: THE END OF UGLINESS (PART 2)

Prostitution, he had no girls under him.

The gang’s main source of income was drugs and lending.

Drugs accounted for ninety percent.

Became the club’s bouncer, essentially the manager. Everyone thought I had elevated my status and could recruit people, but in reality, without a strong economic source, I couldn’t even pay my underlings’ salaries.

Who would follow me?

No one!

This bastard! I ended the war, and all I got was doubt.

Money decides everything; gangs are like businesses, the underlings are employees. A gang isn’t a romantic fairy tale, everyone needs to survive and needs money. Being in a gang isn’t everyone’s dream.

Some kids like this lifestyle; gangs have no restraints, they won’t get bullied, they can earn money, but some people are just left with no choice.

I became the gang’s hero, this was something the boss didn’t want to see. He put me in the family’s most core industry, made me a leader.

But it brought me despair because I had no opportunities at the club. The club belonged to Sofia, I had no rights at all, not even my salary was paid by Sofia.

He made me leave the gang’s most profitable business, drugs!

Johnny threw me into an invisible corner.

"Buddy, should we do it ourselves?"

I shook my head, rejecting Amir’s proposal, "Being the club manager suits me, don’t forget, we have a partnership with Sofia."

"Haha, I want to see Johnny’s angry face, when he knows the truth, he’ll realize he made a mistake."

"Yes!" I also want to see his expression, but not now.

"Hi Kenny!" Boss Johnny, wearing a black suit, walked towards me, accompanied by a woman in a black long dress; this was his wife.

With his subordinates, our boss gave me a friendly smile.

"Well done Kenny, I know you’re a capable guy, starting today, you’ll be in charge of the club. I’ve discussed with Sofia, you’ll manage PINK."

Manage the club?

My heart was filled with sarcasm; the club belonged to Sofia, I had no rights. Manage? FUCK YOU!

"What? You don’t want this job?"

"Where’s my administrator position?"

"Quite a few brothers will be bailed out; they will handle sales at the beach and residential areas. Now, I plan to recruit more people. The club is our home base, also an important money-laundering business; I need the most trusted people to watch over it."

"Most trusted people?" I scorn at this lying guy in front of me.

"Yes, you are my most trusted person."

I clenched my fist; if it wasn’t for Eddy’s funeral, I would really punch him.

"What about Amir?"

"He’ll handle security and parking at the club."

Parking subordinates?

You replaced all my men.

"Can I refuse?"

"This is my idea." Johnny moved close to me, speaking in a low voice, showing an expression that brooked no argument.

"OK!"

Johnny nodded with satisfaction and walked towards Shara with his people.

"This bastard!" Amir cursed quietly, "I really want to get rid of him."

"Hey buddy, I don’t want you or your family getting hurt."

"Would I be afraid?" Amir angrily stared at Johnny’s back.

"After all, he is the boss!"

I patted Amir’s shoulder, telling him not to get angry.

Amir gave me the middle finger, "Listening to you, Kenny." Johnny walked towards Shara.

Sofia, wearing a black low-cut dress, stood beside me.

"You did well; Johnny is your boss, defying his wishes will get you into trouble."

"What about you? What are you expecting?"

This woman isn’t so kind; Johnny is her lover and also her pawn.

"I expect your performance, manager."

I looked at Sofia’s black stockings, smiling at the corner of my mouth.

"Getting into a conflict with Johnny isn’t good for you; you’re just his subordinate."

"Is this motivation for me?" This woman was undermining my loyalty, telling me not to defy Johnny’s wishes, emphasizing that I’m a small fry. She was stirring my ambition.

I looked at the people around, standing in the corner, reaching out and touching Sofia’s butt.

"Damn, Johnny’s right there."

Sofia looked into the distance, speaking calmly, as if I wasn’t touching her shapely rear.

"SO WHAT?" My hand moved into her skirt, touching her butt.

"Smart guys don’t do stupid things."

I moved closer to Sofia, looking at Johnny, "I’m a man, you’re a woman, I don’t feel stupid."

[Fack, I feel it!] Sofia bit her lip, enduring it.

Looking at the prompt above her head, I laughed again; this woman was a qualified actress.

She rebuked me but really enjoyed my caressing.

"Hey buddy." Amir ran over.

I withdrew my hand, Sofia adjusted her skirt, still wearing a confident smile, as if nothing happened.

"What?"

"Eddy’s house needs to pay a property tax, just now Shara wanted to ask Johnny for help, Johnny refused because he had paid a large lawyer fee; the gang just went through a war, there are many places that need money, can’t help Shara. This bastard." Amir finished speaking, somewhat nervously looking at Sofia.

The model nodded slightly, "Looks like you have things to discuss; I expect your performance, Kenny."

Sofia left, but she wanted to know what I would do?

A successful person needs to learn to follow the rules of the game.

Workplace rules, business rules, unspoken rules in the entertainment world, rules of political games.
